STEAM ON 4 CONTINENTS - PART III: ASIA (Vol. 1) is the third part of a series presenting evocative colour photographs of steam locomotives in action world-wide. It features:
-Turkish steam doing battle with the grades on the spectacular railways of the lonely Anatolian highlands
-Edwardian British-built locomotives operating in the deserts, mountains and plains of Pakistan
-Steam in India, the land of mysticism, now one of the world's two major users of steam traction
-The exotic locomotives of Indonesia set in the lush tropical scenery of Java and Sumatra
-Glimpses of rarely-photographed locomotives in Jordan, Syria, Nepal, Burma and Thailand.
STEAM ON 4 CONTINENTS - a series with the aim of presenting only photographs of the finest quality which capture the essence of the steam locomotive's many-sided beauty. This is what critics wrote of the first two parts.
Part I: Europe + South America:
"This is a highly creditable attempt to portray by original photography the magnificence of the steam locomotive in its varied environments. It is highly recommended to all those whose interests lie in overseas railways, or who simply appreciate pictorial railway photography at its colourful, most brilliant best." (Steam Railway, December 1984).
"This volume must rank amongst the best-ever railway photographic albums" (Continental Railway Journal, Spring 1985).
"A stunning collection of colour plates of steam trains in action. .. they are all dramatic and some are of startling clarity." (Railway Magazine, February 1985).
Part II: Africa:
"What shines out of this book is a photographic skill that transcends the normal and becomes pure art ... A very beautiful book" (Continental Modeller, July/August 1986).
"This is easily one of the best steam books ever published .. . The quality of photographs used to illustrate South Africa especially, are so good that the reader is left crying out for more!" (World Steam, September 1986).
